[Gretl-users] speaking of Julia...

I recently updated to the new julia 1.0.0 and noticed that our "foreign" I/0 support for julia was broken. To use the @printf macro you now have to say "using Printf" first; endof() has been renamed as lastindex(); and readdlm() requires "using DelimitedFiles". Those points are now fixed in git, but there are other problems too. My test script for julia interaction calls a function from the MultivariateStats package, and that doesn't appear to be working with julia 1.0.0. I tried using the GLM package instead but that doesn't work either. In the first instance this was with the julia build supplied by Arch Linux. I then tried removing that and replacing it with the binary package of julia 1.0.0 from julialang.org: still no go with either MultivariateStats or GLM. There seems to be some confusion over "LinAlg" vs "LinearAlgebra" (and maybe some other things too). Allin
